First there was “slow” food and then “slow travel” - Now Costa Cruises is introducing “slow cruising”
The "slow cruising" experience includes longer, leisurely itineraries and extended time, including many overnights in port.
The Italian line’s two smaller ships, Costa neoRiviera and neoRomantica, will focus on local foods and wines while offering small-group shore excursions.
The ships offering these experiences are smaller - Costa neoRiviera has 624 cabins and Costa neoRomantica 789 cabins - so they can visit smaller ports and offer more personalized service.
Before sailing on these two ships, guests can consult a team of experts to book shore side tours that match their interests. Once on-board, a concierge can assist in choosing shipboard and shore side amenities, such as the new candle-lit gourmet “Dinner Under the Stars.”
The Costa neoCollection kicks off with a 62-day voyage departing Dubai on Feb. 9. The “Grand Africa Tour” will visit India, islands in the Indian Ocean - including the Seychelles, Maldives, Mauritius and Reunion - Madagascar, Mozambique, South Africa, Namibia, St. Helena, Senegal, Cape Verde, the Canary Islands and Morocco, ending at Savona, Italy. Segments are available.
Next spring and summer, the neoRiviera will sail a 12-day “Mediterranean Heart” itinerary departing Savona on April 11, April 22, May 3, May 25, Sept. 12 and Oct. 4. The cruises call at Toulon, France; Salerno and Livorno, Italy; Valletta, Malta; Porto Empedocle, Sicily; and an overnight call at Barcelona, Spain.
The May 3 Costa neoRiviera departure also includes Genoa, Italy. The “Mediterranean Spirit” itinerary from June 5 through Sept. 1 departs from Savona and calls at Toulon; Propriano, Corsica; Olbia, Sardinia; Trapani, Sicily; Valletta; Capri and Salerno, Italy, and Portoferraio, Elba.
The Costa neoRomantica also will offer 13- to 15-day summer Northern Europe cruises in the Baltic and Norway. Among them are the 13-day “Kingdom of Light” cruises departing Amsterdam on June 1, June 13, July 21 and Aug. 14.
